Bobby Portis (left shoulder soreness) has been downgraded to doubtful. Brook Lopez (back injury maintenance) has been downgraded to doubtful.

So, Milwaukee is tanking.
We need to “rest” Tatum, Brown, Marcus, Horford and White.
But if Philly wins, then we drop to 4th, and the Raps are playing better than the Nets of late. I’d rather be second and get homecourt for two rounds even if it means Brooklyn than drop to 4th. Philly plays Detroit the same time we play Memphis.
Not me. I think the Nets are better than Toronto, and the Bucks are better than the Heat.
We almost beat the Raptors in Toronto without Tatum, Brown and Horford. I'm not worried about them at all. I'd love to wup them in the first round.
Yeah, while second would be nice for HCA, it’s not worth having it if that means Nets first round and Milwaukee/Philly second round. I’d certainly take Toronto and then Miami even without HCA, as I think both of those are easier matchups in each round.
